The best I can do on such short notice. Watch in 1080p, makes it really hit home. THIS should be storm of war right now. Lets hope SOW exceeds this level of awesomeness.

Thats some nice footage...I like the waving grass, it opens my mind to the possibility's.

S~!

Its ok, but it reminds me of IL2. The scale is the same ..... off.

Can't touch the terrain in the Wings of Prey -- my favorite map is 'Bulge'. I can't ask for more than this.

I personally don't care for that kind of grass. It would be fine in a tank or infrantry sim but seems out of place/unnecessary to me. IMHO not single cpu cycle should be spent on waving grass.

W.o.P has done terrain properly for a flight sim.

However ..... taste is a personal thing. Good flights in RoF.

I just dont see how the terrain is much better than RoF at altitude. I dont mind the grass, it makes it more immersive and on my computer ran at max graphics at a high fps level. People with older machines might take issue however. Im not sure what you mean by scale, as I felt the same flying RoF and WoP in terms of scale, only that RoF actually has a good flight model (very good actually). There isnt too much to expect from a ww1 flight sim anyway, cuz honestly, there wasnt that much going on in the air in that time...ground forces and stuff would be nice though. Dcs black shark has both scale and great physics and I love it, only the coding is so bad that it slows down on max graphics on a brand new gaming rig so thats rather tragic. A good flight sim, to me, should have good graphics and good physics, and that includes the flight model of black shark or RoF and graphics such as grass, good shadows, reflections etc. RoF has both, Dcs has them too. WoP has potential, unfortunately that is all it has for now, its too arcadish, both in flight model and options. Ill be waiting till SoW comes out or WoP is realistic enough to give it a second look, but honestly flight model should be the most important consideration when making a sim. Just my (long) opinion.

I have a question so you can finish the whole campaign and single missions on full Sim mode with Limited fuel and limited ammo and no retrys ?

I'd love to see someone do this and post a video of each mission. I'm personally finding myself hard pressed to pull it off.

I believe so. I dont have the unlocked version. Its the full game but in demo mode (weird I know) but yo ucan as far as I can tell. Unfortunately what gets me is that the sim mode isnt realistic enough, not that the game has arcade modes, which is fine with me.

I have some screenshots here (running in lowest settings as my computer isn't exactly NASA standard). Trees and grass are set to "Low", as they're some good FPS killers and, in such close combat, I can't afford any lag.

Rise of Flight did a nice job in archieving eye-candy in a realistic way, specially with the reflections. Not really important on this discussion, anyway, but I think they also got the 'drama' factor right. I felt a bit weird after my plane got one wing bent, I tried to recover but, already low, the wing was ripped of and it dived towards the ground... This only happened once in IL-2, there it's just hit Ctrl+E and see if the pilot jumps, and if he smashes into the ground. When you can't even jump, things are different.

Eagle Dynamics also has some pretty good-looking environment, specially if we're talking about DCS. Again, very low settings, so it does not show the full potential of the sim.

am really enjoying wings of prey , it has a lot of potential , imo its middle of the road in terms of flight models.

very enjoyable.
